My observation of the 7-08 on the Campfire over the last 20 years is it’s likely the top “hotrodded” cartridge. Some seem incapable of accepting its limitations and are constantly on the prowl for the next wunder-powder to turn it into a 280 (or more).
What the 7-08 does is launch a 140 grain bullet at 2,820 +/- from a 22” barrel. A couple powders will make it faster, but often with less accuracy.
If you want more, get a bigger engine. The 7mm SAUM or WSM come to mind.
In this day of BDC reticles and turrets, I struggle to understand how the 7-08 isn’t an ideal NA BG round within its limitations.
